I actually enjoyed the cold scrambled eggs and ham in a can. I'll eat anything. Even balut. After a few San Miguels at Peso Jimmys.Old_me:
I have used each and every one of these many times for a number of reasons. Soda cans, soda bottles, etc. You name it, I probably tapped it with one. Th Military can opener, many times.

No. Do not do that.
Working as a pump jockey in 1970, Texaco Havoline oil in the paper "can". Used that spout. Messy. And the can went into a drain drawer in the metal oil display on the island. Plastic container underneath collected the excess oil. Bossman had us dump the containers into the bulk oil drum at close of shift. Bulk oil was $.50/quart. Bossman made money off of the oil you bought. Girls wore miniskirts. 16-year-old boys enjoyed washing windows. Ethel and high-test...good stuff.Well I am over fiddy and when I was a kid most of the products you would use those items for were changed or improved to not need them.
Likewise the oil can stabber spout.
Gramps kept the spout he said to just remember how much a pia it was to use one.
In the guards when we got go to Germany, we discovered those type of bottle openers were still needed.
But most convenient handrail corners could be used.
So here's to you folks that remember using those items.
God, I'm older than freshwater!Why, that first photograph is the very thing I used to employ for opening my oil tins. The second is what I employ to unstop my bottles of sasparilla, before I take ’em back to the bottler.
The advancement in science has allowed to make this an easier task:
